I noticed that you have written a book on cancer-is this from personal experience, or is it research based?
Allen MacDiarmid
Both! Years ago I started developing skin cancers. My dermatologist just wanted to cut them out or freeze them off. I opted to go on a high dose vitamin C regimen, taking 10 grams per day but working my way up from 6 to 10 over a period of a few weeks to avoid the trots. This diminished the incidences of the Basal Cell Carcinomas. My dermatologist said it could not be the vitamin C. I suggested that "might help, can't hurt" applied until she herself started taking it.
Later I developed a tumor in my bladder. I found a Naturopathic Doctor and she found another naturopath that dealt with cancer. I had the tumor surgically removed and the prevention prescribed by the two Naturopaths. I started reading, voraciously. I started with "Outsmart Your Cancer" by Tanya Harter Pierce. I have not stopped researching.
Then a few months after getting my bladder treated, I discovered I had a Choroidal Melanoma in my right eye. I was referred to a retina specialist. I should have stood my ground and asked them to just track my progress as I was taking Protocel for a year. The eye doctors were horrified and shocked that I didn't submit to their removing the right eye and giving me a glass one, but I finally did submit to TTT, which left me partially blind and without any depth perception. I am now being seen by a really good eye doctor that said I should have seen him in the first place. Unfortunately the first doctor was in Arizona, the second in Ohio.
I have long avoided patent medicine "cures". At first I just tossed prescriptions when I got home, but then started just dumping them in the doctor's trash in front of him after telling them I didn't want a prescription, I wanted a cure. I got nowhere with that and didn't make much headway until I started investigating other medical areas like homeopathic, TCM, ayurvedic, acupuncture, naturopathic, etc.
I am constantly amazed that people who develop cancer don't want any help or even anybody to know that they have cancer. I am horrified that an oncologist will treat someone repeatedly with chemo until they finally succumb to the final cure, DEATH. There is a lot of cancer in my family. My parents died of cancer, my brother and daughter both died of cancer, my other brother and sister both have had cancer. I do believe that a disposition toward cancer is not a death sentence. I do believe that cancer in to only beatable and treatable, but most importantly preventable.
My 99 cent article was written to help out a friend who has since passed away from her cancer without reading the free book I gave her. I put it up on Amazon, Nook and Barnes and Noble at the lowest rate allowed, I also made it free for a few days. I am afraid I am wasting my time and now offer help only if asked.
Pity!
